To keep yourself protected

1. Do not install any browser addons for Torbrowser for your own safety to keep you protected.
2. Do not go to Youtube or any other similar Video website it will compromise your protection and may allow a attacker to locate you.

3. Every 1-2 days Click the Icon Use a New Identity this will keep you protected and will make it much harder for an attacker to figure out who is using TOR or where you are located.
